STEM Engineering for Elementary GATE - Wind Power, Windmills, and Wind
Two challenging but age-appropriate engineering projects highlight this unit. If you’ve taught my other STEM units, however, you know they’re not simply building projects. We’re thinking, learning science concepts, developing explanations, applying math and non-fiction reading skills, and bringing a wide variety of areas into a unit. But let’s not take lightly how cool it is to build and experiment with a cool mini glider and a working windmill!

Kid STEAM Construction for GATE 3rd - 7th Grades BUILD A WORKING CAPSTAN
Maybe all you folks on the coast know what a capstan is, but we land-locked folks haven’t a clue. OK, so I know now . . . a capstan is an interesting combination of simple machines often used on the high seas, a fun construction project full of little building skill challenges, and a great tool for a hands-on geometry experiment.
In this lesson, we discover what a capstan is using primary source photos, build a scale-model capstan, experiment with it, and gather data to make this a true STEAM
